    Just filled up a partial tank full (not really how sure it was full in the first place since the dealer filled it up) since we're heading west tomorrow and low and behold, hit EPA (48 mpg exactly) for totally in-town, stop and go with many 10 minute or less segments. Must admit I was practicing a little hypermiling but I need to get better at this I'm sure.

    Looking forward to hitting EPA, i.e. 44 mpg (or better) on the road. BTW, I did run the A/C most of the time and idled some trying to set things up. Running my tires at 40/38 (Touring Model).:roll:

    Keep up the hypermiling. With patience, it's not hard to push your MPG into the 60's in warm weather. There are lots of tips all over the website.

    Happy Trails!
